Finals week is here and everyone is stressing. Study sessions are more common and a lack of meal swipes is a thing. Everyone goes through different stages of emotional distress throughout the week, and everyone experiences there problematic situations differently. Here are just a few Gifs to explain the different stages and situations that occur during the weeks of finals from one of my favorite movie series, "Lord Of The Rings".


1. When you've been studying for five hours straight, haven't eaten, and are on the verge of your 3rd emotional breakdown of the day, and someone tries to talk to you.

We all know that feeling when we're so miserable and we don't want any human interaction and we just want to sit and cry alone.


2. When you've run out of meal swipes and are trying to think of foods that will sustain you without having to pay a lot.

Luckily my school does both meal swipes and what's called "dining dollars", so we have two options for types of dining halls we eat at. But when you run out of even one out of the two, you start to ration any food in your dorm and only buy food at the store if absolutely necessary.


3. Trying to go into finals with a positive attitude.

We don't want to do finals, but sulking and being miserable won't make it any better.


4. When all your friends are done with finals and you're here until the last day.

I feel so bad for all the people that will still be at school taking finals after I'm done with my last final.


5. The feeling you get when you see your professor has brought in food for the final.

Best part about having fun teachers is that they bring food to the final exam because they know finals are terrible.


6. The look you give someone when you're finally done with their crap.

It's a sensitive time to begin with, but there are just certain people that say stupid things around finals week, and one little thing will set people off.


7. When you look at a question on your exam and think you know it but then second guess yourself.

I'm such an over-thinker so if I'm not completely sure of an answer I second guess myself so much during exams.


8. Feeling like death from lack of sleep and knowing you look and feel like a zombie.

We all know the feeling of being dead and just being a walking zombie.


9. The look everyone gives the first student who passes in their final.

We all know they're either a genius or failed the crap out of that test.


10. The feeling you get when you finally finish your last final.

Last final done I'm peace-ing out and going home and sleeping for the rest of the day.


11. When you are finally driving home for break.

The sweet satisfaction of finally going home after being done with the semester.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
